Cattle farmer in Fukushima Pref.

IITATE, Japan - Cattle farmer Kenichi Hasegawa disposes of breast milk he just expressed from his cows on March 27, 2011, in his farm in the village of Iitate, Fukushima Prefecture, located some 40 kilometers from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant crippled by a massive earthquake and tsunami. He said he keeps on expressing milk just to dump it as the disaster destroyed infrastructure for milk shipment and the government instructed restrictions on the shipment of local dairy products due to radiation contamination concerns.
